Valdorf Announces
Decision To Retire
Berkeley, Calif. (U.R)
Lynn (Pappy) Waldorf head foot
ball coach at the University of
California for the past 10 years,
announced Tuesday night he is
retiring at the expiration of his
contract.
The portly mentor, who
brought the Bears to the Rose
Bowl three times during his
career at Berkeley, said he has
been planning to retire "for
some time." He did not disclose
his future plans.
Waldorf first announced his
decision to the squad. Then he
issued a statement that said:
"I intend to retire as coach
of football at University of Cal
ifornia at the end of my present
contract, which expires July 1,
1957. I have thoroughly enjoyed
Tny 10 years at the University of
California and I have particu
larly enjoyed working with this
year's squad."

NEWCOMBE SELECTED
NATIONAL LEAGUE MVP
New York (U.R) Lumber
ing Don Newcombe, the bulky
Brooklyn pitcher who supposed
ly isn't able to win the "big
ones," won the biggest honor
the National league has to offer
today when he was named the
Most Valuable Player for 1956.
The 30-year-old Dodger right
hander gathered a total of 223
points to beat out teammate Sal
Maglie, who finished a surpris
ingly strong second with 183
points.
For Newcombe, who won 27
-Tames the past season but was
knocked out twice by the Yan
kees in the World Series, his
first MVP. award capped an un
usual year during which "choke
up" charges were hurled at him
oespite his impressive victory
total.
And for the 39-year-old Mag
lie, who was considered "all
through" when Cleveland let
him go to the Dodgers in May,
his strong second-place showing
climaxed a banner season during
which he pitched a no-hitter
against the Phillies and proved
a motivating force in Brooklyn's
climb to the pennant.
The entire balloting, in which
24 members of the Baseball
Writers' Association of America
took part, was more or less a
manopoly for the Dodgers. Five
of them finished among the top
10, with second baseman Junior
Gilliam winding up fifth, short
stop Pee Wee Reese eighth and
centerfielder Duke Snider .10th.
Milwaukee outfielder Hank
Aaron, the league's leading hit
